How-To: The Pseudo-Enlightened Entry
[Insert dreamy, colorful photo with poor depth of field.]

[Insert text with meaningful sounding metaphors and such.]
The pistachio of life. It's difficult for many people to open with their fingers, so they give up and search for new nuts. When I find a tough nut, I often have to use a tool like a Swiss army knife, or love, in order to crack it.
[Insert cheesy quote -- it may or may not be wholly unrelated to your post.]
"We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality. " --Albert Einstein
